It's not from a Ford forums email. It's from the bargin spammer. The "to" email is mine, which is unique to the sign up to these forums. Every site I sign up to I use a unique email alias that you'd have to be a mind reader to guess.

It's also funny how the bargains it lists are all car related. Sorry but something has happened for them to get this email address. This is the exact reason I create unique addresses for every site sign up, it identifies the leak.

I received one from bargainsAU as well, never had one before until yesterday. At the bottom it also showed woolies and bigW catalogues. I am a woolies rewards member so is that another possible source?

Also check any legit emails you have previously received at that address or sent from that address; it might tell you the likely source; the sender or receiver may have been hacked or forwarded a reply from you so it's fallen into the hands of a spammer.

They got you PF, same thing happened to me with the Great Dominoes Data Leak.
Proven by a unique username and my usual email address not as in your case of a unique email address. (Dominoes blamed a supplier LOL)https://www.google.com.au/search?q=d...hrome&ie=UTF-8

Make a message rule to bin anything with Bargains AU in the header.

Oh, I should add that I'm also now getting emails from Bargains AU, if they don't stop soon I'll set up a rule to dispatch them into the bin.

I got one, saw it was all related to car stuff, didn't bother to read it and deleted it.
I do not have any 'rewards' cards with any company, and I also refuse to give email address to SCA, BCF, or any other retail outlet.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was contracted from else where
The newest windows update applies a fix for the massive security breach in intel processors. However, this fix will affect CPU performance.
Benchmark tests show CPU slowdown of anywhere between 5 and 30%.

Since I done the windows update I have noticed a marked slow down, didn't know it was windows. It' not that it is slow, it just takes more time to load and open programs.Is this what happens?
